Title: An Explanation

RIA,

It has come to my attention that several of my friends announced their resignation in the same thread as me. A few minutes ago, so did Fortress. Please allow me to explain this, as it will undoubtedly attract the ire of RIA if you believe that I told my friends to follow me to NPO. Fortress and I are roommates, good friends, and we play Cybernations together. I followed him to RIA in the first place. Last week, we decided together that we would both leave RIA, and of course, we told our CN-playing real life friends (Phoenixrisers, Darth Magus, Vilheim88, and Arcsoria). As you have most likely noticed, Fortress and I are the only two of this group that follow CN politics or post on the forums. We initially asked our friends to join RIA so that we could be in the same alliance. Naturally, when we decided to leave, our other friends wanted to follow, because again, they wanted to be in the same alliance as us. We didn't actively bring them to NPO; they are following us on their own free will. I won't pretend that I didn't expect this to happen, but there was nothing I or Fortress could do to leave without them burritos too. After all, wouldn't you want to be in the same alliance as your real life friends?

I apologize for any hard feelings this has caused, but rest assured that these are all real-life friends of ours, and that we are not attempting to rob the RIA of members.

Thanks for understanding this,

PS. I would have replied in my resignation thread, but I am rightly demasked and cannot. I'm not trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill, but I see no better way to respond to the posts in my resignation thread.

It's all cool. I believe basically everyone understands all this now. Have fun in the NPO, don't be afraid to stop by here and say hi every once in awhile!

No hard feelings. If my RL friends were playing, we'd all enjoy it more if we were in the same place.

/'cept that ONE dude, and he knows who he is.

Oh, yeah, since I got demasked on ODN forums, can someone please please tell me why people don't like Xiphosis? I was having a discussion with a ODN diplomat in the RIA-ODN embassy on ODN forums. I'm curious.

Good luck at the NPO.

Yeah, it does kinda suck that the UF gang headed off, but since I just realized we had a UF gang,

I didn't know there were LSU sympathizers here. If I did, I would have left earlier.

Thanks for your support everyone!

Sorry llamavore! I wonder if there's a UF/Gainesville alliance... maybe you can play GoCrossCampus. You might've heard of it, but idk if you have to be a UF student to sign up.

ODN's probably jealous because Xiphosis is secksie.

Other than that, ODN doesn't have an embassy here = I don't give a rat's ass if they dislike our ally.
